Thanjavur Brihadeeswara Temple

Sadhguru speaks of the history behind the Brihadeeswara temple in Thanjavur (also known as the Tanjore Big Temple) and its extraordinary architecture. Built over a millennium ago by Rajaraja Chola, the immense temple is a masterpiece of architecture. But something went wrong during the consecration of the Brihadeeswara temple. Sadhguru explains why the need to build the adjacent Gangaikonda Cholapuram temple arose. What was missing in the first temple?
